  1. why so many people would like to use iPhone?
    as i thought, touch screen is not very easy to get used for those old man, just like me.haha..
    I also suggest William or other mates should try chinese facebook- www.renren.com, it's very popular in young chinese students. haha, this is just a joking.

  2. i have not come across www.renren.com, which looks and feels like Facebook? i wonder what FB thinks of the Chinese competitor and rip-off :)
    (those of you who are not chinese, ren = people, so renren is "many people")

  3. the future of the web is in dynamic content - download a song from iTunes but it includes album sleeves, lyrics, videoblogs from the artist, allows the user to customize their own song choices, add comments or reviews, like or unlike the song, which adds greater value to the music track or album (record companies can charge more) and creates buzz. the hope is that the iPad as a device due to a richer user experience sits well with dynamic content and to make dynamic content more accessible when compared to the laptop or the mobile deice
